This is a technology demo of self-modifying code (SMC).  Assignment commands are capable of pointing into their own memory space and changing values.  But be warned before you start trying to use SMC that its a pain to maintain.  Every time you add, remove, or change a command, you'll need to check every SMC assignment and change its address.  This becomes particularly burdensome if you are using several of these assignments, such as in this Flux file.
 +
 
 +
To use this Flux, import it to its default slot, which will attach it to Location 067.  To attach it to a different location, you'll need to modify the ChangeLocation commands.  Provided that you change nothing other than this, the SMC assignments should still work fine.  Talk to Gaspar for instructions.
 +
 
 +
The other Flux file included is a slightly older version that is not as complete, but also does not use ChangeLocation.  NPCs are loaded in real time, though this does create some minor issues we have not yet solved.  This demonstrates some of the research that was done to achieve the real time loads.  Without setting the proper values in memory, Chrono Trigger will typically crash after just a few NPC loads.

The Modification wiki depends on volunteer contributors to add new information or tutorials. If you're interested in the Chrono series and have done some research, post on the forums or e-mail chronocompendium@gmail.com for access to edit the modification section, and we'll make sure that you can add your findings here.

Chrono Trigger

Ctpagelogo.png

Chrono Trigger (Japanese: クロノ・トリガー) is a 1995 SNES game and is considered to be one of the greatest games ever made, as well as one of the finest role-playing games of the 16-bit era. Owing to its success, Chrono Trigger has been investigated and hacked extensively. Temporal Flux enables whole-scale editing of scenarios, field maps, the script, and many other areas of the game, while many other utilities and translations round out the community's offerings. A leaked beta version, the Chrono Trigger Prerelease, has also garnered the attention of ROM hackers.

Utilities and Tools

Temporal Flux

Temporal Flux is a spectacular editor that can work with dialogue, locations, and overworlds, and in the future will be the vehicle for editing everything in the game. A plugin architecture lets editors add their own functionality to the program. Get the latest version and plugin architecture here. A backup for 3.04 is available here with a plugin architecture 1.00 backup here.

Before consulting Kajar Laboratories or tutorials, check out Chickenlump's Temporal Flux guide. Updated in 2007, it can get you on your feet in no time. Download it here.

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is required for Temporal Flux to run. The .NET Framework can be obtained through Windows Update. After installation, return to Windows Update to download any available .NET patches. A downloadable version, Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.0 Redistributable, is available on Microsoft's .NET download page. If possible, use Windows Update instead as it will take into account your Windows version and language.

Chrono Cross

Ccmainpage.png

Chrono Cross (Japanese: クロノ・クロス) is the 2000 sequel to Chrono Trigger. Released for the original PlayStation, it has been extensively hacked, mainly since the late 00s. Event coding, model changing, and field map editing are among the frontiers of Chrono Cross modification.

Numerical File List and Offsets

Chrono Cross, released late in the PlayStation's life, was subject to clever data obfuscation by Square. Obfuscation in this sense—the art of hiding data—means at the simplest level that, if you put Chrono Cross in your hard drive, you can't browse directories and view individual assets, like character models and textures. Instead, the game disc is compiled as a unified whole with an index file at the beginning which the PlayStation / Chrono Cross read to find files and operate. In 2002, Terminus Traduction (specifically, Yazoo, Nemesis, and Manz) successfully audited Chrono Cross and wrote a set of utilities for extracting its data. The first tools (Chrono Cross Hacking Tools) were authored by Yazoo and dump the entire game's assets. The second set of tools (Chrono Cross Translation Tools) are heavily-modified versions of Yazoo's tools primarily coded by Nemesis and his team. They are specifically geared to dump assets (such as text, scripts, images with text, and video captions) needed for translation.

All Chrono Cross file dumpers to date assign each file a four-digit number according to its position in the toc (see boot.dat)—0000 is the first file listed in the toc, and so on. There is no single accepted convention for numbering the subfiles of compound filetypes, so I've used the briefest one, which I invented for Purple Cat Tools, where 0009.000 is the first subfile of file 0009, 3760.003.005 is the sixth subfile of the fourth subfile of file 3760, and so on.

Radical Dreamers

Title2.gif

Radical Dreamers (Japanese: Radical Dreamers –盗めない宝石–, "The Unstolen Jewel") is a 1996 side story or gaiden to Chrono Trigger. A text adventure, it has not received the same amount of attention as the other games in the series for obvious reasons. The main focus of ROM hackers has been to enable translation of this work, which was never made available outside Japan.
